SUPER IMMUNITY A Breakthrough Program to Boost the Body's Defenses and Stay Healthy All Year Round

The big idea in this snappy lesson is that our immune system is needlessly compromised when we don’t get enough phytochemicals—the micronutrients that are abundant in fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts. These nutrients are largely absent in the processed food many of us favor, and this, the author says, is the reason we get sick and sometimes don’t respond to conventional medical remedies. Ned Sparrow’s low-key reading is effective in making this advice inviting and easy to understand. He applies authentic-sounding urgency in exactly the right places, which helps the key ideas linger in the mind without sounding overwrought. Warm and clear writing, fascinating research findings, and Sparrow’s performance make this a powerful tool for those who are serious about improving their overall health.
